What is Abortion Pill Reversal?
If you have taken the first abortion pill (mifepristone or RU-486) and regret your decision, it’s important to know that it’s not too late to change your mind. Abortion pill reversal provides a way to potentially save your pregnancy.
What is Abortion Pill Reversal?
Abortion pill reversal (APR) is a relatively new practice although the medication it uses, progesterone, has been safely prescribed for decades. Progesterone has been used to support healthy pregnancies since the 1950s and received FDA approval in 1998 (source). Abortion pill reversal involves taking the hormone progesterone which is aimed at counteracting the effects of the first abortion pill.
Abortion Pill Reversal is a time sensitive process that typically needs to be started within 72 hours of taking the first abortion pill. If you have taken the first abortion pill and regret your decision, contact the Abortion Pill Rescue Network. They can connect you to over 1,500 medical providers, clinics, and hospitals trained in the abortion pill reversal process.
Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
Statistics show that more than 8,000 lives have been saved through the Abortion Pill Rescue Network (source). Additionally, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) states:
“By giving a woman progesterone, the Mifeprex abortion can be stopped and the chances of the baby surviving increase from 25% (the survival rate without natural progesterone) to 68% (the average survival rate after giving natural progesterone). This is a significantly increased chance of the baby surviving the attempted chemical abortion after Mifeprex. For women who change their mind after starting a chemical abortion, the administration of progesterone can give her a real hope of saving her unborn child.” (source)
